Share our resources
In conjunction with Global Money Week 2025 we launched ‘A guide to starting your first job‘ to help young Australians successfully engage in working life.
We encourage members to share this resource with clients and other young people in their community to support them in entering the workforce.
It is packed with information on preparing your resume, understanding your pay slip, superannuation, maximising your earnings and so much more!
FAQs
The guide has been designed for any young person looking to enter the workforce.
We encourage members to share the resource far and wide to help Australians enter working life.
Members are encouraged to reach out to communications@faaa.au if you are interested in working on future financial literacy intiatives.
Global Money Week is an annual global awareness-raising campaign to ensure that young people, from an early age, are financially aware, and are gradually acquiring the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours necessary to make sound financial decisions and ultimately achieve financial well-being and financial resilience.
We encourage members to get in touch with their feedback and comments via communications@faaa.au
